"Normally I want to add things to potato salad recipes, but this one is a keeper. It really is the "classic" potato salad. For extra crunch feel free to add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced radishes, chopped cucumber, or chopped bell pepper. This recipe says it serves 10, but I don't think so.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
